028. Longevity Boxing
When the emperor returned to the palace, it was already late, and the eunuchs in the Ganqing Palace hurriedly served the emperor for dinner first.
After the meal, while the emperor was having a leisure time eating fruits, the Jingshifang sent someone to "please worship the sage". The emperor took a look at the order of the green cards in the tray, smiled and turned up a small green sign on the left: Guiren, Zhaojia.
The list of concubines selected by the emperor to serve the bed was temporarily taken over by the imperial concubine Tong. After reviewing and using seals, it was once again majestic and roundabout, floating everywhere in the inner palace...
This night, I don’t know how many hearts shed tears; this night, I don’t know how many beauties hope to be destroyed.
(The concubines share the male) The emperor and the emperor were unaware of it, washed the fruit juice they had on their hands, and then picked up a warm towel from the tray held by the young eunuch, wiping their faces and hands, and began work arrangements for the evening.
The emperor drew three samples and summoned General Manager Gu to give him direct instructions:
"Ephesian Gu, please arrange it. According to this paper pattern, each book is bound 100 pages and customized 10,000 identical books. This one has the inner cover, the paper shape is slightly thicker, and the other is the outer cover. It is best to use waterproof oil paper. The grid lines in the inner page should be finely drawn, so it is best to find ways to distinguish them with different colors."
The consultant was a meticulous person, so he didn't understand the key details. He repeatedly asked the emperor several times and asked the emperor if he could make a book tomorrow. If it was in line with the emperor's wishes, he would increase the number of seals. The emperor was very satisfied with Agu's serious and cautious attitude and expressed his full agreement and support.
Seeing that the emperor seemed to be a little free, General Manager Gu reported to the emperor another important event, about the progress of related affairs arrangements on March 18th. When the emperor heard the three words "Wanhou Festival", he was really surprised in his heart, although he was calm in his face. This was extremely bad. What day was it? After thinking for a long time, he remembered that this was the emperor's birthday.
The emperor insisted on listening to General Manager Gu’s work report calmly. How many pieces of colorful silk, red silk, and how many palace lanterns had been distributed in various parts of the inner palace? What level of menu had been arranged for the inner court dinner that day...
Although the emperor had issued an edict in person earlier:
——There was just an earthquake last year. I am the example of the world and should be sympathetic to the sufferings of the people’s livelihood. All rituals on the Birthday Festival should be simple.
However, the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager and others will inevitably have corresponding gifts, and the many concubines in the inner palace will also have their own etiquette, and the congratulations from all civil and military officials will not be missing. According to the wishes of taking care of the general manager, we must also ask the emperor in advance whether we need to prepare all the etiquettes for the return ceremony to meet the fullest.
The emperor was upset when he heard this. I was about to celebrate my birthday. It was originally a joy for everyone to celebrate my birthday, but the emperor’s birthday was too troublesome. The polite etiquette I didn’t understand very well were all kinds of. Many people would compete to celebrate my birthday and give me gifts! This acceptance of gifts is like receiving red envelopes, and it would be fine if I made a lot of money. If I had to pay back the gifts and provide rituals for everyone to eat and drink and watch; am I tired of living?!
The emperor was secretly depressed for a while. He hadn't figured out what it was! In fact, the Manchus had more etiquette and face-saving ethnic groups. Those who exchanged courtesy and sent nine out times during the week were more than those of the Han people.
Some small things, such as the birthday gifts of those inconspicuous old concubines, concubines, nobles, promises, princes, and daughters, all of which were delivered back and forth by General Gu. Only the empress dowager, the empress dowager and other transcendent elders, as well as the noble queens, imperial concubines, princes, and older brothers, can it be the emperor's turn to worry about them personally, put a few big words on the topic and reward various gifts. When the emperor is in a good mood, everyone may be able to sit together for a meal.
If the emperor finds it troublesome, it is useless to be depressed by himself. He is the indispensable storefront. If it is missing, it will definitely not look good. You have to be able to live up to the face, right?
However, Xiao Han doesn't care! Xiao Han is deeply annoyed these deviant things. At that time, it was called a custom, and there was no way to change it. I remember that every year I just send wedding red envelopes, colleagues, classmates, friends... Every New Year's Day, May Day, National Day, Mid-Autumn Festival... In short, on the auspicious day of the zodiac, the national holiday was set aside, and Xiao Han's salary was miserable in just a few times. Sometimes, in order to avoid having a wedding banquet, he would hurry to travel outside to avoid attending the wedding. His life was so helpless that others would be fooled by others.
Originally, Xiao Han liked the way of traveling and getting married, which was both romantic and worry-free. However, at that time, his parents and girlfriend said that since they had already given out a lot of red envelopes, they would not be able to collect the money if they didn't hold a banquet, so they decided to hold a wedding banquet in the future. Next, the hero of the wedding banquet was saved in advance, and Xiao Han finally failed to experience that luxurious and gorgeous performance. I don't know whether it was a blessing or a regret.
After listening for a long time, the emperor still said something to General Manager Gu:
"Agu, the people's livelihood is suffering... I want everything to be simple, I only eat a bowl of longevity noodles."
"I don't want them to give me a gift, I reward each of them with a bowl of longevity noodles."
After saying this, the emperor burst into tears.
The emperor waved to the consultant Xing and signaled him to retreat. The emperor sat alone for a while before he wiped away the tears on his cheeks. Although the tears were a bit sensational, they were also the emperor's heart. Xiao Han suddenly remembered a pair of elderly parents with white hair in his previous life, who suffered the grief of losing their son in his later years. On his birthday and death day, when he thought of the sad situation of "a white haired man sent a black haired man, and he still kept crying." How desolate should his parents' hearts be?!

Speaking of which, I just went to Baidu to play, and suddenly I remembered my name "Zhuang Zizai". I realized it was gone, and then it was called "Xiao Han", and it was gone.
